New York Times Lens Blog Portfolio Review

The
Review is a chance for a diverse group of 160 photographers to meet with
leading photo editors, museum curators, book publishers and gallery owners for
one-on-one portfolio reviews. It will also also be an opportunity for people in
the photographic community to meet, trade ideas and help each other. For free.

Photographers
will be screened, and because we’re sure many people will apply, the quality of
the work has to be high – nothing less than your best. The Review begins on
Saturday, April 13, and will be open to all photographers age 21 and up. Each
participant will have five or six private 20-minute meetings.

Sunday,
April 14, is for young photographers, ages 18 to 27, and will include both
portfolio reviews and workshops with leading professionals.

We
will screen all applicants and choose a total of 100 participants for Saturday
and 60 for Sunday. All kinds of photography – from fine art to photojournalism
– are encouraged.

The deadline is 11:59 PM ET, Wednesday, February 13, 2013. If you're selected, you will be notified by e-mail by March 8.
